Mazda Repair: mazda protege lx, mazda protege, thorndyke

Question
Thanks for the reply, I must admit being a female and all I had put the filter on backwards and it was my problem getting started, but now the problem is the same as wwhen I started all this. So after new filter and pump I am still loosing pic up at acceleration, like when u hit it hard it kinda spits and sputters and rpms lower like its loosing power..does that makes sense? Where should my next step be...I am so aggravated and most men just say I have no idea what i.m doing...take it to a shop..I can and WILL do this with your help! Thanks Joshua

Answer
your problem doesn't sound tranny related. it sounds engine related i suggest you get the repair manual and test some of the basic sensors that control fuel for the motor. like the TPS, your spark plugs and wires.


my direct e-mail is fixit-guy@hotmail.com or john.thorndyke@forces.gc.ca if you need help at all

i think it's great your trying to prove a woman can fix cars i get my wife in the garage at home anytime i can and get her figuring things out.
